You can already sue a manufacturer for consequential loss if you can prove negligence?

Yes, but 1) I would like to make it clearer that failing to meet generally accepted good security practice is negligence, and 2) make importers and retailers liable to some extent for negligence with regard to security, not just manufacturers.

I would apply this to hardware, not pure software, or separately sold software.
